Good morning Tax-chick. Cool pictures huh Billy?

[snippy_about_it]

We're back and we REALLY, REALLY want a lot of the stuff we saw today! Keep up the OT and you'll be able to afford one.

Beautiful poetry and presentation you've created and left at the Foxhole today for Armed Forces Day. Thank you so much feather for sharing your talent with us.

Thanks Light Speed for the comparison information and the picture is fabulous!

Bill's playing "Lego-bots" at Lego.com :-). It's amazing how involved the kids (and their dad) get in these games!

He can read the thread today after supper, while Anoreth is washing up. Then I'm getting the piano out, and we're all going to learn "Men of Harlech." (The kids watched "Zulu" again yesterday!)

[Light Speed]

Zulu is an awesome movie..wish they could have digitally remasterd the DVD version...Zulu in THX!

What the hell do you you mean, cowardly blacks? They died on your side didn't they? And who do you think is coming to wipe out your little command? The grenadier guards!? (Adendorff)

Mr. Chard Sir! Patrol has come back, Zulus have gone, all of 'em. It's a miracle! (Bourne to Chard)

If it's a miracle Colour Sergeant, it's a short chamber Boxer Henry, point 4-5 caliber miracle. (Chard)

And a bayonet Sir! With some guts behind it! (CS Bourne)

The Zulu...Horns of the Buffalo....Jolly deadly old boy!

[Tax-chick]

We have a non-stereo TV, so the sound doesn't mean to much to us. I like the DVD's because I can have the subtitles on, and read the dialogue while all the kids are chattering!

"Very strong bass section, sir, but they've got no top-tenors!"

Thanks Light Speed. I still have a soft spot for the B-17.

It was nice to be able to get a real close hands on look at all this working equipment. I'm happy.

[SAMWolf]

I really, really, really want the MG-42 we saw. :-)

"Zulu" is one of those pics I can watch over and over again.

"I do believe we got about 60!"
"Great, that leaves 3940 left."

So how come you haven't offered me a beer yet, Darksheare?

Good afternoon y'all!

To all our military men and women, past and present, and to our allies who stand with us,
THANK YOU!

Got a couple of minutes to sit while hubby grabs a quick shower. We'll be heading out shortly to visit his aunt, who's in the hospital for tests. We're praying they don't find any signs of a stroke. At least she's in good spirits and is taking this all quite well, actually.
I hope everyone here is doing well and having a great weekend! *HUGZ* for everyone.
